I'm not debating the niceties of what you listed. I'm also not denying a senior pilots right to choose within their seniority. What I am tired of is any pilot's "belief" that they're ENTITLED to whatever they want. The seniority system is way out of whack in this industry, and that's not even debatable. It has the potential to cause far more harm than good, and has proved that point on numerous occasions throughout the last 25 years. But i digress....

That aside, there's nothing we can do about the system itself. The problem therein lies in the whining and complaining that some in the top 20% do.

This is a unique job, where you can pretty much live wherever you want. Some chose to move to CVG, as that seemed a logical choice, as it was/is Comair's fortress. Things are changing, and there's a real possibility that CVG will no longer be Comair's mega hub it might be moving, or shifting a great deal to the northeast.

It is absolutely no secret that there are those who ADAMANTLY refuse to go to JFK. Some avoid that airport like the plague, and have vehemently opposed any suggestion of moving or being moved to JFK. What's mature about that?

THESE are the people I am speaking about. I have no qualms about them wanting to be with their families..but c'mon. You're AIRLINE PILOTS.

They take it as a mortal sin that THEY'VE been inconvenienced by this company going to heck in a hand-basket. Many around these people are being furloughed very early on in their careers, have no health insurance, and can't find a job to pay off their student loans, and can barely afford to put food on their table. Or the 7 year captains who got downgraded, took a 40% paycut and don't have a choice of where they end up...not to mention they're on reserve...again....

Yet there are a select few who complain because their seniority entitles them to?

I don't think so..it's ridiculous..that's my main point.

Call it childish if you want, but the pouting of 40-60 year old MEN is what's childish.
